RE: A Quick Note to Witnesses Supporting Forking Out Specific Stake

in #witnesses6 years ago (edited)

I wish and hope all the witnesses in their right mind realize that forking someone else's stake away will crumble away the trust in the governance we have. The whole idea of the blockchain was that everyone has the absolute control and responsibility of their own funds with their keys. And I think that is such a fundamental property of the blockchain that the witnesses should also protect it. Yeah, Steemit Inc. stake is ninjamined and all that, "it's not fair" yada, yada, but I don't think the means justify the action in this case because it can have catastrophic consequences; Should it happen it's not hard to imagine how the whole (crypto) world will from that point on treat Steem as a chain where you're funds can be stolen at any moment, and that is not because of hackers, but because of Steem and it's corrupted governance.
